Dinamica Virtual Machine Para Geociências the Dinamica Virtual Machine for Geosciences List of Figures

This work describes DinamicaVM, the virtual machine that runs applications developed in Dinamica EGO. Dinamica EGO is a framework used in the development of geomodeling applications. Behind its multitude of visual modes and graphic elements, Dinamica EGO runs on top of a virtual machine. This machine DinamicaVM offers developers a rich instruction set architecture, featuring elements such as map and reduce, which are typical in the functional/parallel world. Ensuring that these very expressive components work together efficiently is a challenging endeavour. Dinamica’s runtime addresses this challenge through a suite of optimizations, which borrows ideas from functional programming languages, and leverages specific behavior expected in geo-scientific programs. As we show in this work some of these optimizations deliver speedups of almost 100x, and are key to the industrial-quality performance of one of the world’s most widely used geomodeling tools.
